Unique floating homes, studios, offices, retail buildings and hospitality. Floating structures are based on a concrete raft so they can be put practically anywhere and are easily moved to new locations. Outstanding design and attention to detail ensures that Bauhu floating buildings surpass UK building regulation requirements and provide a clean and comfortable space without compromise on furnishing, or bathroom and kitchen equipment. Floating Homes are supplied fully equipped and furnished ready for immediate occupation.

Bauhu homes are manufactured and pre-assembled at factory level to ensure an engineered finished product and an accurate component supply. All parts of the building envelope and interior decoration items are assembled together as a ‘kit’ to provide a complete building package ready for assembly on site.

This home is supplied as a prefabricated kit complete with all of the structural elements, components and equipment required to assemble the building to a fully water and airtight condition. Below is a non exhaustive scope of supply:

Lightweight galvanized steel structure for external walls and internal partition walls (frames) according to structural calculations for the building type. The external wall frame composition is engineered according to structural calculations. In most case the steel frame is 90/150mm wide. These calculations take into account typical usage loadings and conditions specific to areas in seismic activity zones. Assessment of suitability for specific construction locations should be carried out by competent local engineers instructed by the buyer and is not included in this scope. Internal walls are made from the same steel frame profiles.

Interior wall Rockwool insulation, Fire resistant gyproc dry lining, Water resistant gyproc dry lining - Rockwool insulation matting is used to fill internal wall cavities providing thermal insulation and soundproofing. Exterior and interior paint, decorating materials and equipment. - Two skins of gyproc are applied to both sides of internal walls and inside outer walls. Water resistant gyproc is used in wet areas. Decorating equipment is supplied as part of the building package.

Class A uPVC doors, windows and sliding doors with double glazed units. Composite external doors. - Internal doors are supplied as complete door and frame sets together with liners and architrave profiles. Doors have multi-point locking system for maximum security and peace of mind and are pre finished but can be painted if alternative colours are required. Door furniture and hinges are stainless steel or chrome. Impact resistant laminated glass is provided in high wind climatic locations.

Sanitary ware and plumbing installation equipment. - The sanitary ware package is premium quality white ceramic and all equipment is supplied according to bathroom layouts shown on individual house design floor plans.

HomeEssentials

All BAUHU homes can be equipped with roof mounted solar PV panel systems designed to meet the power requirements of the building. Working with leading PV manufacturers, we offer solar power generating equipment and a selection of complete off grid solar power kits. Each kit includes PV Modules, charge controller, rack mount, inverter, battery bank, and a fixing kit appropriate for the system size.

Solar thermal collectors provide a virtually maintenance free solution to low cost water heating by capturing the warmth of the sun and transferring this heat into a domestic hot water system.

Water is a basic vital essential that is often taken for granted. Many locations around the world do not benefit from a mains water supply or the cost of a permanent supply is prohibitive. A rainwater harvesting system collects water from the building roof and the pergola system. Downpipes feed a tank which can also be filled or topped up from a local water supply or mains water if it is available. The collected water is pumped through a filtration and disinfection process before use as domestic potable water.

HiddenStrength

Bauhu homes are engineered to respond to diverse climatic conditions and harsh environments. Our steel frame system ensures a stable structure which will not move or rot in humid conditions, is not effected by termites and is proven to be the most resilient construction method for seismic or cyclonic regions.

EcoResponsible

Bauhu Homes are manufactured entirely from 100% recyclable materials and are designed to preserve the environment by providing exceptional thermal insulation performance minimising running costs and reducing power consumption.

RemoteLocations

Some of the worlds most desirable locations are also the hardest to get to. Factory manufactured homes are a perfect solution for locations where mainstream construction supplies are not available or very expensive to obtain. Our international network of logistics experts are on hand to work out the transport.
